Hearing Xu Xiaozhi's words, Madame Jiang felt as if someone was holding a knife to his own flesh.
”Mn, since that's the case, then start preparing Yanzhu's dowry in the next two days. You will return to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ” Old Madame Xu had long guessed that Jiang Family would compensate Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang after doing such a thing, so she had already thought about it long ago.
With regards to today's result, Old Madame Xu was fairly satisfied. She did not force Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang too much, and when Xu Xiaozhi let go, Madame Jiang revealed a pained expression before letting out a sigh.
Seeing that Old Madame Xu gave them a specific time to take Xu Yanzhu away, Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
They were truly afraid that they would not be able to take Xu Yanzhu away or hear the news of her death.
Madame Jiang was still uncomfortable, but Xu Xiaozhi was familiar with Old Madame Xu, and knew where her mother's bottom line lay.
Seeing that his mother had let go of him, he hurriedly pulled Madame Jiang and left to rest.
After Xu Xiaozhi and the Madame Jiang left, Xu Yanzhu who was previously hiding in her room came out.
”Grandmother, were you angry just now?”
Xu Yanzhu walked to the side of the Old Madame Xu, raised her hand and lightly patted her back before looking at Xu Shiqiu again: ”Third Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you to speak today.”
”Don't thank me, your grandmother was just angered by me.”
Xu Shiqiu had just finished joking around when Old Madame Xu looked at him and shook his head, ”You, what you said just now really pissed me off.” After Old Madame Xu said this, she saw that Xu Shiqiu's expression did not change into a smile, and continued to speak: ”But Mother knows that you're telling the truth.”
”It's the truth that makes mother angry. Otherwise, why would you be angry?” Xu Shiqiu had only just finished speaking when he looked at him and could not help but laugh as he shook his head. Only then did he continue, ”But Mother, please don't be angry over other people's family matters. We juniors, we are more than enough to worry about.”
”That's right. Mother, don't be angry.” Dong Shu interrupted somewhat nervously. Seeing that after she finished saying this, his mother-in-law and husband did not get angry, Dong Shu braced herself and continued, ”Mother, take care of your health. When I give birth, Mother will not stay by my side.
Not only was Xu Shiqiu captivated by her words, even the Old Madame Xu was nodding at her lovingly.
”Okay, when you give birth, mother will definitely watch over you.” Dong Shu's delicate and soft character carried a bit of fortune. Every time she came to see her, her body would become lighter by a bit, ”But Mother believes that as long as you follow Doctor Du's instructions, you will definitely be able to give birth safely.”
When he thought about how a fortunate daughter-in-law would give him a granddaughter and two grandsons in the future, Old Madame Xu's mood became especially good.
Old Madame Xu believed that with a blessed mother, her granddaughter and grandson would definitely be blessed as well.
Xu Shiqiu could guess what Old Madame Xu was thinking from his expression, but he did not open his mouth to interrupt her imagination.
He also believed that his Young Girl was blessed. If his Young Girl didn't have such luck, how would he wait for the day his daughter was born?
Xu Yanzhu sat at the side and watched as Third Uncle and Third Aunt consoled his grandmother with a few words, making her feel more at ease about him heading towards the capital.
She wasn't afraid of what might happen in the capital city's Jiang Family. The only thing she was worried about was raising her grandmother.
Originally, Third Uncle's unique physique had been suppressed after having the Third Aunt, so she could feel at ease to leave the Xiahe Village and head to the capital.
It was just that she did not know if the Jiang Family in the capital were ready for her to go there.
Beijing Jiang Family
”Mother, I want to let Yanzhu live in the Ha Yuan Courtyard after she gets married.”
Just as Jiang Han finished speaking, the Jiang Family Mistress who was sitting in the seat of honor immediately stopped and asked: ”Didn't you say when you were getting married that you could only live in the Ha Yuan Courtyard?”
”How can my cousin compare to Yanzhu!”
”Why can't we compete?” When the Jiang Family mistress heard Jiang Han's words, she immediately looked at him in dissatisfaction. ”Xu Yanzhu is your cousin, and Xiao'er is also your cousin.
The more the Jiang Family mistress spoke, the angrier she got. Xiao'er was the Liang Family's direct daughter, how could she be worse than Jiang Qian's daughter!
”Mother, it's not like you don't know how happy I've been to you since I was young. Back then, if you hadn't been so determined to marry Yanzhu, I might have already done it for both my son and daughter.” Jiang Han was also very angry, he had liked Xu Yanzhu since he was young, and felt that only a woman like Xu Yanzhu could be worthy of him.
How could he be like his mother's niece, Liang Xiaoxiao? Although she looked like her mother, not only was she unruly and willful, her body also reeked of copper. She simply could not match him.
Jiang Han was raised by his mother, so what kind of thoughts did he have?
”I know what you're talking about, but for you, I did as you said, to ask your highness concubine to bestow the marriage on you, to give enough face to Xu Yanzhu, what about you?” After the Jiang Family Mistress had said these words, she thought for a while and continued, ”You have given Xu Yanzhu face, yet now you are humiliating the Liang Family like this? In your heart, do you still have a mother like me? ”
”Mother …” Jiang Han was the most annoyed by his mother when she said this. She called her mother impatiently, and then continued, ”But Yanzhu is still my love, you forced me to marry Cousin Li Er, my heart is naturally different.”
After Jiang Han finished speaking, seeing that his mother was still not willing to let him go, he opened his mouth again: ”Besides, only by letting Yanzhu and I live together can we quickly give birth to a grandson for you. Do you think the grandson is more important or the Liang Family's face is more important?”
